We need to be careful not to turn this in to a mac vs _put_your_preferred_platform_here_ flame thread.
There are many reasons why I chose Mac. But with regards to development,you get the comfort of a powerful, user-friendly desktop coupled with the everything unix is. I can use bash and have access to all the unix development tools, even run any X11 apps if I need them. OSX comes with Python, Ruby, PHP and more installed by default as well as Apache that can be controlled from the system preferences. Apple and OSX are so developer friendly the amount of documentation available for developing OSX apps is staggering and they provide *free* developer tools, including a powerful IDE and interface builder... ok so I could go on. Ultimately you should just use the platform that suits you best. There's no real secret that makes Mac the best developer platform or the one for TurboGears. But I think it's great that people are noticing more folks using Macs, because I personally don't understand any reason why you would use Windows. And I find linux desktops rather foreign (as a designer too), I like the fact that Mac is commercially supported, I have some one to go to when things don't work right :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
